I'll try and translate the specific interview part.

buffed.de: At BlizzCon we heard a lot about WotLK. Any News since then ?

Jeff Kaplan: There are a few things, we didn't mentioned at BlizzCon. Like the new CoT-Instance "Stratholm". We wanted to get back to the CoT concept, because its one of the coolest things we released in the past. We wanted to look into the plans of the bronze dragonflight. We wanted to show you some of the coolest Warcraft moments. And now we picked Stratholme. WoW-Players already know Stratholm and a lot of the hardcore WoW players are big fans of the old Stratholme Instance. Warcraft 3 Players know Stratholme from a single player mission, where the players followed Arthas through Stratholm, burned down the houses, killed the residents and fought Mal'Ganis. In WotLK you'll fight side by side with Arthas as you travel through the CoT. We'll give you the opportunity to meet Arthas at a time, before he turned into the evil himself. You'll cleanse Stratholme and burn down the city.

Sry if anything sounds awkward =)

Now i can remember that mission, wasnt that the mission that u have to race against Mal'ganis consuming infected humans, and on the other hand with arthas kill those infected ppl by burning down the houses? If so maybe they will implement a timed run or event? Although that would be tough though.

That is the mission you are thinking of! I personally cannot wait, timed or not, to slaughter the blood of the innocent in Stratholme to in the end better fortify the forces of the scourge MUUWAHAHAAH!!!

Timmy the gentle? lol
I don't know if I would describe the chat between MalGanis and Arthas as 'intense' but yea, Strath is where Arthas took the most important turn away from his humanity (he had little left already when he claimed frostmourn seeing as how he didn't care for his men and dwarf friend).

I'm usually at the other end of that fireball you just got in your face ;-)
